Porto de Phuket
Situated in the Choeng Thale area of Thalang District, Porto de Phuket is an open-air shopping centre with a distinctly upmarket, lifestyle-oriented character. Rather than a conventional mall experience, it leans heavily toward dining and leisure, making it a popular spot for both tourists and locals looking to unwind in a polished, relaxed setting. The architecture and layout give it a Mediterranean-inspired feel that sets it apart from Phuket's more typical commercial centres.
Dining is the clear highlight here, with a wide selection of restaurants spanning local Thai cuisine and international options, all arranged within a breezy, walkable outdoor environment. A well-stocked supermarket anchors the practical side of the visit, while specialty shops offer browsing opportunities for those looking beyond food. Visitors consistently describe it as better suited to a leisurely evening out than a dedicated shopping trip, and the atmosphere in the later hours tends to be particularly lively.
Porto de Phuket is open every day from 10:00 to 22:00, with evenings generally offering the most pleasant conditions given Phuket's daytime heat. It is worth noting that prices here skew toward the higher end by local standards, so budget-conscious travellers should factor that in before dining or shopping. The venue is easily combined with a visit to the nearby Boat Avenue market area, and parking is available on-site for those arriving by car or scooter.

Reviews from Google
My visit to De Porto Phuket turned out to be one of those rare experiences where everything simply feels right from the moment you arrive. What I expected to be a casual stop quickly became one of my favorite moments in Phuket — a blend of comfort, warmth, and thoughtful design that makes this place truly stand out. The atmosphere here is exceptional. The space is open, breezy, and beautifully arranged, giving a sense of calm the moment you walk in. Whether you’re sitting indoors with cool air-conditioning or enjoying the outdoor area surrounded by greenery and fresh air, the entire venue feels inviting and well cared for. Cleanliness is impeccable — every area is spotless, and it shows that the team here genuinely takes pride in maintaining the environment. The food and drinks at De Porto Phuket exceeded my expectations. Everything tastes fresh and carefully prepared. The coffee is smooth and aromatic, the dishes are flavorful without being overly heavy, and the desserts — especially their homemade selections — are absolutely worth coming back for. It’s clear that the kitchen puts real heart into every plate. What truly made my experience memorable was the service. The staff are warm, polite, and naturally attentive. They greet you with genuine smiles, offer helpful recommendations, and make you feel welcome throughout your visit. Their hospitality strikes the perfect balance — caring without being intrusive, friendly without being forced. Another huge advantage is the ample parking space. In a popular destination like Phuket, this alone makes a big difference. Here, parking is easy, safe, and well organized, which adds to the comfort of the overall experience. In every aspect, De Porto Phuket feels like a thoughtfully created community space — not just a café, not just a stopover, but a place built with intention and sincerity. It’s perfect for travelers looking to unwind, locals wanting a cozy spot to relax, or anyone who appreciates good food, good service, and a good atmosphere. I’m genuinely glad I visited, and I can confidently say this place earns a full 5-star rating. Highly recommended for anyone in Phuket looking for a space that feels effortless, welcoming, and truly enjoyable.
This is a wonderful area to hang out, with so many great restaurants offering a wide variety of delicious food. There are also excellent shopping malls nearby, making it a perfect place to spend the day or evening. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, and there is always something to explore. Whether you come for dining, shopping, or simply relaxing, it’s a great area to enjoy and spend quality time.
Nice mall, with his restaurants and a great supermarket, but it's expensive

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
